Can Sony make the iPod of digital books?

Sony is trying to suceed where so many others have failed.. create a e-book reader that people will actually use other print.

Personally, I don't see it happening.

*plus* I wonder what Sony will do then for DRM for books.. I liked this quote from the article:

In 2004, Sony launched an e-book reader in Japan that also failed to take off. Called the Librie, it won plaudits for design, but its high price and draconian antipiracy technology -- users could only "rent" books from Sony for 60 days before the tomes deleted themselves -- scared off consumers.
